Baldham, Seend

An impressive Grade II Listed farmhouse dating from the C17th, with an incredibly spacious interior of over 3800sqft, plus a range of sizable outbuildings offering scope for conversion. This charming home is packed with character features and is set in about 1.4 acres of grounds including a walled garden, and two bridges spanning the adjoining Semington Brook across to a paddock.

This much loved period home has been in the same family for many years and is now of an age where some modernisation is required throughout, giving the next owners an opportunity to update it to their own individual tastes and requirements. Internally, an entrance hall leads off to 2 generous reception rooms both with original shutters- a dining room with a log burning stove and a sitting room with feature open fireplace and stone surround. There is an additional snug/family room with a fireplace and former bread oven and a 25ft open plan dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room with an AGA, double oven, exposed beams and a range of rustic handmade units. From the hall stairs descend to a useful cellar and rise up to a large landing with a family bathroom and a total of 5 bedrooms, some with original fireplaces and exposed wooden floorboards. The main bedroom also benefits from a 24ft dressing room that has potential for an en suite (subject to gaining the relevant consents).

Outside, double gates open through to a large courtyard and private parking area. To the left, a gate leads into a walled former 'kitchen garden'. There are two substantial outbuildings- both divided into 3 sections and each offering scope for a range of possible future uses. To the rear, the garden backs on to the wonderful brook and has two simple bridges that cross over to an island and then into a small rough paddock area.
